The competition: Sparks has been upgraded to supporting, and the only possible returning nominee here is last year’s winner Hank Azaria (Ray Donovan), who is likely to be back again. Gerald McRaney (This Is Us) and Denis O’Hare (This Is Us) both seem like good sentimental bets to join the race. I’m pretty sure that the rest of the category will be made up by past nominees, like Beau Bridges (Masters of Sex), last year’s Best Supporting Actor winner Ben Mendelsohn (Bloodline), and two actors nominated for the same roles on other shows, Dylan Baker (The Good Fight) and Mark Margolis (Better Call Saul). Other possibilities include Brian Tyree Henry (This Is Us), David Strathairn (Billions), BD Wong (Mr. Robot), and Lars Mikkelsen (House of Cards). I’m sure we’ll have a surprise or two here also.
